Okay, so first of all, if you just wanted to get in touch with 93foxbody2.3, you could have just sent him a private message... But it's good that everyone can see this.

I put on a cold air intake but I have a 1990 2.3, without the MAF. It'll be easier without the MAF, but you just have to include the MAF into the new setup however you choose to do it.

Here's what I did: I went and bought a decent $30 throw away 3" cone filter. I used a whole bunch of intake pieces out of 2 different mustangs and linked them all together to get the intake in the fender. Also, I had a vacuum line that went to the old air box. Those things are really important to deal with because it tells how much air the engine is getting from the air filter. If you can incorporate the vacuum line, it's a good idea that you do, but if you can't incorporate it, then you must plug the line with a screw or something like that. I found that with the open vacuum line, the engine idled at 1500rpm and when I plugged the line, it idles at 850-900rpm.

Good luck, Steve

Yeah what stanger did can easily been done for pretty cheap and just painted to make look better, you could also use pvc pipe if you wanted to, i wouldnt tho, thats me..

I got my cold air intake from MustangsUnliminted:

Mustangs Unlimited - The Premier Source for Mustang, Shelby and Cougar Parts and Accessories

Theres the link there is some minor mods required to install it but it will work fine, i love mine.

Exactly. I used the PVC for now and a $20 filter. I had to buy a MAF adapter and a rubber reducer. It's on there, but not complete. I'd go with this if I were you...

I'm eventually going to get the piping like that set, but without the filter cause I got one. It might be a bit more, but done right.

Just remember this, the air intake just directs the flow of air to the throttle body, the type of pipe used doesnt really matter except the looks and the fact of how it handles the heat of the enigne bay.

Now when you go with the cold air intake i have it does suck hot air from the engine bay, a fenderwell set up is ideal for gettin cold air to the engine, I have made one myself out of pvc pipe and some fittings, its not too difficult i just dont like using pvc so i used the metal pipe in the kit from Mustangs Unliminted, you dont have to buy the kit but for 60 bucks its not too bad. You could easily make one from pvc and a filter for 30 bucks.

They say PVC releases some sort of poison when it gets hot enough. I would rather use a hoodscoop setup.
